This book is a murder mystery set after WWII, so the trauma from the war, the period-typical homophobia, and the explicit discussion of the victim's death are to be expected. Neither of the two main characters are suicidal, and no one interacts with a centralized medical system (one of the main characters is a small-town doctor).
